RE: Controlling books on OS X with voice commands

[hemakarah]

I too have a carpal tunnel issue. I also look forward to accessing the book app 
with voice commands, and minimal keystrokes.

Warmly,
Hem.

Subject: Re: Controlling books on OS X with voice commands

I tried assigning the read next sentence and read prior sentence commands to 
single keys in the Quick NAV and keyboard commanders, but they don’t function 
and text field of iBooks for some reason. So, I then rigged up a system of a 
piece of wood and a 2 1/2 pound weight to hold down the function control option 
and command keys and therefore allowing me to read down and up Buy sentence  
with a single key press on the up and down arrows. This will save a lot of wear 
and tear on my left hand nerves.

The 

Epub books with ibooks app

[hemakarah]

Hi all, 

 

I downloaded a book from Bookshare. It was in Epub format. First time, I could 
access the book flawlessly using the Ibook app on the Mac. Second time, it 
could read just the cover page. It was just saying bullet, bullet, and the 
like. No idea why this happened. Kindly guide me. Kurzweil 3000 looks very 
accessible when it comes to bookshare. But the software is damn expensive for 
me.

 

Take care,

Hem.

Re: Searching a specific folder for a specific file type on the mac

[Barry Hadder]

1.  Command-f in the desired folder.  When you do this, focus will be on the 
search field in the toolbar.
2.  Stop interacting with the toolbar and move vo to the search section.  Make 
sure that the radio button option to search the folder is selected.
3.  Move vo to the search criteria.  If you don't find the Boolean search 
options than make sure that vo reports the hide search criteria toggle in the 
selected state.
you will probably figure out the rest.

Yes but rules work on incoming messages,

Highlight the ones you wish to forward and then use the forwarding option to 
send them on to where you want them to go.

Subject: Mail Rule for Auto-Forwarding

I’ve broached this subject before. I’m still having no luck in creating a mail 
rule to automatically forward a message that arrives in my inbox each morning. 
I have no problems creating rules, and have several that move messages to 
various folders.
For the auto forward, I have no problem setting up the criteria, but in the 
action section is where I think the problem lies. I select the pop-up for 
forward and then type in the recipient’s email (which is correctly typed). Then 
like any other rule I select OK and then Apply.
But the rule never works, even after editing or completely removing and 
re-building. This message does have an attachment, which I want to have 
forwarded, but there seems to be no provision for anticipating this in my 
choice of actions.
Has anyone else been able to construct a rule to do an auto forward?

Re: Braille blaster - creating a braille file?

['E.T.' via MacVisionaries]

Chris,
   Sounds right. I have Duxbury for Windows and have done just that. 
Now BB may be the affordable solution for the Mac and will try to oyut 
some time into it this month. Someone had said that it was not possible 
to edit files in BB, I could have misunderstood. Let's compare notes 
over the next week or so.

Re: Controlling books on OS X with voice commands

[Jonathan Cohn]

Well, I can’t test here..
1. If buttons are properly labeled, one is supposed to be able to click on them 
with VOice Commander by just saying the appropriate phrase.

That being said, the Books application is one of those that is essentially a 
IOS application wrapped in MacOS clothes, so I have no idea if this will cause 
some issues. Specifically, I know that Books has no Apple Automation 
integration and can therefore only be marginally controlled with AppleScript.

Re: Mail Rule for Auto-Forwarding

I’m sure that I could create or help you create an AppleScript to send that 
attachment  through using a AppleScript based rule. I haven’t done anything 
like that but I know what all the code points would be.

Re: Accessibility of duolingo or similar software on iPhone

[Jonathan Cohn]

I stopped using DuoLingo after my trip last May, but in the year prior to that 
it was constantly getting better for me to use. Especially with Braille 
support. Around Jan 2019 they put in features that made keyboard input switch 
languages based on if the answer was supposed to be in Hebrew or English. I 
also saw general progress in the advertising screens being less troublesome. 
When I first was using DuoLingo, when I got a spinner to get a “prize” I 
couldn’t activate it with VoiceOVer, and when I received an advertisement, I 
would just wait a day to use the app again, or click on No more ads and then 
click on “No Thanks” for the option to pay $5/month to get no ads.
HTH,
Jonathan

to add my voice to the pleas for some sound at start up!  To whom should such

Re: Mac start sound

[Brad Snyder]

Have you confirmed that this terminal command actually works, and the start 
“chime” sound is restored?

I have read articles from Apple Insider and other sources with commands for 
restoring the chime, and none of them work.  Then, i read an article that 
stated that these commands worked on older pre-TouchBar Macs, but not on the 
newer TouchBar Macs introduced in 2016 and forward.

Mac start sound

[Jürgen Fleger]

Hi,

several times I read on the internet of a way to get back the Mac start sound 
on the newer Macs. The discription says to enter the folloing command in 
Terminal and restart the Mac:

sudo nvram StartupMute=%00

So far it didn’t work for me. Are you aware of a different way or am I doing 
something wrong?

Thanks and all the best

Re: Mail Rule for Auto-Forwarding

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Probably.  I've just always known that.  You can test this by sending an eMail 
from one account to another and setting up your rule to watch for messages from 
that one account.  There's probably a rational, logical, reason explained 
somewhere in Google-land, but I've never bothered to make the effort to search 
for it yet.

Later...

Accessibility of duolingo or similar software on iPhone

Hi,

I was wondering whether duolingo or any other languages study app might be 
accessible with voiceover?  In particular, I’m interested in learning Mandarin 
Chinese.

Re: Mail Rule for Auto-Forwarding

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Dave,

Has the message you wish to auto-forward already arrived in your InBox?  If 
yes, then that's likely the problem.  I believe that this action will not act 
on items that currently reside in your message list.  It will only act on 
incoming messages.

Later...

5G iPad Pro, $399 iPhone, and AirPods Pro Lite in 2020?

[Simon A Fogarty]

Hi Listers,

I thought after the recent discussion that people might like to read this one.

The idea with the new iPads sounds interesting.
 

 
 

 

5G iPad Pro Models With A14 Series Chip Said to Launch in Fall 2020 

A report this week claims that Apple plans to release its first iPhone and iPad 
models with 5G connectivity in the second half of 2020 

 . An announcement in September or October is possible.

The new iPhone and iPad models are expected to be equipped with 5nm-based A14 
chips — likely A14X for the iPad Pro — and support a combination of mmWave and 
sub-6GHz variants of 5G. Qualcomm is expected to supply its Snapdragon X55 
modem for the iPhones, but the report does not specify which modem the iPads 
will use.

Upcoming Low-Cost iPhone Again Rumored to Start at $399 

 

  Apple is widely rumored to be planning a new lower-cost iPhone model, 
tentatively referred to as the iPhone SE 2 or iPhone 9, and a new report this 
week claims the device will start at $399 in the United States 

 .

The device is expected to resemble the iPhone 8 with a 4.7-inch display and a 
Touch ID home button, but with a faster A13 chip and 3GB of RAM. It will be 
available with 64GB or 128GB of storage in Space Gray, Silver, and 
(PRODUCT)RED, according to oft-reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Rumors have suggested the new lower-cost iPhone will be unveiled around March, 
and ahead of time, suppliers are reportedly gearing up for production of the 
device 

 . With manufacturing delays stemming from the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak in 
China, however, there is some uncertainty about launch timing.

Apple Reportedly Working on 'AirPod Pro Lite' Earphones 

 

  A questionable report this week claims that Apple is working with supply 
chain partners in Taiwan on several upcoming products, including so-called 
"AirPod Pro Lite" wireless earphones 

 .

"AirPod Pro Lite" is a bit of an oxymoron, as "Pro Lite" sounds like the 
regular AirPods that Apple sells for $159. Without any further details 
provided, it is unclear if the report is referring to third-generation AirPods 
or something else.

New References to AMD Processors Discovered in Recent macOS Catalina Betas 

 

  Over the last few months, an increasing number of references to AMD 
processors have been uncovered in macOS Catalina code 

 .

Given that Macs currently use Intel processors, the references are naturally 
prompting speculation that perhaps Apple plans to release Macs with AMD 
processors, but this is unconfirmed as of yet.

AMD does supply dedicated graphics in select MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, and 
Mac Pro models.
